The lume... something's up. Lets hear from the experts. Could be fine but just looks a bit careless.

You will get more input if you post images instead of links, many are a bit wary of clicking on links .

Looking ok to me

The crown was different over the years,
And so long as it doesn't glow in the dark, those lumes look good
Datewheel looks good
Bezel pearl looks good
Hand matches Lume, but just checking with loupe they are same texture as lumes not just painted to match is worth the effort
